- SURVIVE - EVOLVE - DOMINATE -

Nova Drift is a 'rogue-lite' space shooter that melds a classic arcade experience with modern action-RPG elements, emphasizing build-crafting and deep customization. Your ship rapidly evolves as you defeat enemies, allowing you to take a build from inception to execution in a single, captivating game session. 

Build to play how you want, creating a unique build every game. Runs are quick, allowing for rapid experimentation and iteration. 

DEFINE YOUR BUILD, combining dozens of choices of Weapon, Shield, and Body GEAR, including:

  • Weapon - Swords: Wield a pair of monomolecular double-edged swords that parry projectiles. 
     
  • Shield - Warp: Teleport when your shield breaks, creating an entry and exit blast. 
     
  • Shield - Halo: Burn targets within your shields radius. 
     
  • Body - Carrier: Command a legion of Swarm Constructs.

  • Charged Mines: Your mines charge, unleashing your weapon on detonation. 
     
  • Dying Star: Take constant damage, but burn nearby targets based on proximity and how damaged you are. 
     
  • Barrage: Transform any weapon into a bullet hose.

Unlock MODULAR CHALLENGE MODES as your skills grow. Greater risk means greater rewards!


EXAMPLE BUILD - Celestial Striker:


This unconventional build defeats enemies by slamming right through them, detonating its shields, and burning anything nearby. 

 

 
 
  • Hullbreaker is the cornerstone of our build, fast, resilient, and able to deal massive crash damage based on its velocity. 
     
  • Amp Shield increases our velocity and damage, which results in massive crash damage. 
     
  • Volatile Shields ensures that when our Amp Shield breaks on impact, nearby enemies receive a devastating explosion. 
     
  • Flash Shielding lets us get our shield back quickly. 
     
  • Celestial Lance converts our speed into a burning aura, letting us crowd control as we soar. 
     
  • Celestial Surge lets us convert our aura into a massive burning projectile on demand, igniting anything in its path.

Nova Drift is a decade-long labor of love developed by Jeffrey Nielson (Chimeric) in collaboration with its community, featuring music and audio by Miles Tilmann (Pixeljam).
